Recent News

Travis Etienne rushed 16 times for 58 yards and a touchdown in Jacksonville's Week 10 loss to the Texans.
He added two catches for 19 yards on four targets. Etienne was efficient on the ground and in space, but as usual, struggled in short yardage. With five or fewer yards to go, Etienne rushed four times for minus-1 yards. The Jaguars haven't really developed the bigger complement to him they thought they had in Tank Bigsby last season. Etienne will be a playable RB2 against the Chargers next week on volume, but he doesn't appear to have a much bigger ceiling in him than this kind of game plus a second touchdown.

Chris Olave caught 5-of-8 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in Week 10 against the Panthers.
In the first game since the Saints traded Rashid Shaheed to the Seahawks, Olave led the team with eight targets. That was twice as many targets as Juwan Johnson had. Olave's big play of the day was a 62-yard touchdown that put the Saints ahead in the second quarter. Olave looks like a high-end WR2 with Shaheed in Seattle. Fantasy managers will have to find another option in Week 11, though, as the Saints bye week is coming up.

Jalen Nailor caught 5-of-6 targets for 124 yards and one touchdown in the Vikings' Week 10 loss to the Ravens.
Nailor got things started early in this one. The fourth-year receiver hauled in a beautifully thrown deep ball from J.J. McCarthy on the game's opening possession, which helped set up an eventual touchdown run by Aaron Jones. Nailor would later haul in an 18-yard pass in the second quarter on a drive that ended in a field goal, and was rewarded for his efforts late in the game when McCarthy found him in the end zone for a 10-yard score in which Nailor executed a perfect toe drag to stay in bounds. Nailor was the lone bright spot for the Vikings on Sunday, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect days like this. He can be avoided in Week 11 against the Bears.

Keon Coleman caught 3-of-8 targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' Week 10 loss to the Dolphins.
Coleman brought down his third touchdown of the year on a beautiful back-shoulder ball from Josh Allen at the top of the fourth quarter. Coleman adjusted to the ball in the air and dragged Dolphins cornerback Ethan Bonner into the end zone for six. The bad news is that it was his only highlight of the day. He largely struggled to connect with Allen in this contest outside of the 35-yard score. That has been the case for the second-year wideout for most of 2025. Coleman could see more work next week with Dalton Kincaid banged up, but he is nothing more than a boom/bust WR5 heading into Week 11.

Ja'Tavion Sanders caught 5-of-5 targets for 32 yards in Week 10 against the Saints.
Sanders flashed with at least five receptions in a game for the second time this season. The second-year tight end is at the mercy of the Panthers' passing game when it comes to fantasy value, though. Bryce Young has thrown for at least 200 yards in a game once all year so it's best to look elsewhere for a tight end in Week 11.
